"The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall."
This quote by South African statesman and 1993 Nobel Peace Prize winner, Nelson Mandela reminds us that unless we are willing to fall, we will never walk, never run, and never do anything of greatness. The tragedy isn't in falling, it is in staying down. Don't be afraid to fail, for that is how we learn what doesn't work.
Chuck- So true, our true colors shine in the face of adversity. It is not failure that we should fear, but how we handle it.
Chuck, Great quote. It makes me think of how it is teaching your children to walk. When they fall, we tell them to get back up and try again. Simple ans easy.
Chuck, I just love to hear Nelson Mandela. He is such a wonderful inspiration. Keep on keeping on is tough at times, but we must to survive.
Love it. I was just reading on this same subject and posted something similar. We make so much progress if we learn from our mistakes.
Just like trying to learn how to ski, you only learn when you fall down.

So true Ted. It's also funny, how the lessons that are the hardest learned are the best remembered.
